All Creatures Great and Small Theme w/Credits Season 1 Ep. 1

How sweet. My father also loved it first, and then I gradually sort of looked over his shoulder: what was this TV.series he was so charmed about?! And then I was smitten, too...

I adore this series - I have a really weak spot for the opening/end themes, don't know what it is. Sort of optimistic and wistful at the same time.

I know what you mean, there is just a happy quaintness about them. It is charming and somehow makes you feel that all is right with the world.

Exactly. But then the episodes are also (most of them) very well written, and the actors are generally also above average - and there's a great underlying sense of humour throughout, which is very important, I think.

I totally agree :)

Yeah Tricky Woo was well pampered, Mrs Pumphrey called him Trickys Uncle Herriot, and I loved how everytime he went to Granvilles he always ended up drunk, and one time over there, he was playing the statue while Trystan was doing his Mad Conductor, and Helen and Granvilles wife walked in, and he stood up, fell over, looked up and slurred 'Hello Darling' lol

Just bought the complete set on DVD so i can watch them again.

I believe that I have the exact scene that you are referring to posted here on YouTube :) Very funny!

The video clip is called, "The Healing Touch".

Loved this, just watched the whole series again on Yesterday, sadly it finished last week, MR BIGGINS!!!, cracking character he was.

It is characters like Mr. Biggins and so many others, including the animal regulars such as the very pampered Tricky Woo, that made this show so priceless :)
